Power raking is when a machine with rotating tines or blades is used to:
The purpose of power raking is to create ideal growing conditions for the bare areas of the lawn, which will need to be overseeded once the moss has been removed.
Dethatching with a power rake must be done with extreme care, as the intense vibration and movement of the power rake can damage the roots of the lawn, leaving it vulnerable to disease and insects.
If power raking is done incorrectly, such as when the machine is set too low or the blades are dull, it can cause damage to the crowns of the grass or even kill the grass. The machine must be at the recommended depth, and the blades must be sharp to minimize any damage to the grass.
Fortunately, the trained professionals here at Weed Man know how to be tough on thatch and easy on your grass.
The best time of year for power raking is in the early spring or fall, and following a moss control application.
However, that’s not the only time to do it. If you think your lawn needs a power raking or dethatching, start by finding the Weed Man in your area to book a consultation.
This is my first year using a lawn service company for my weeds. I was skeptical at first but whatever they did to my lawn worked. The advice they gave me about what I could do to help keep the lawn looking great from watering to length of cut really helped. I had several people comment on how great it looked. I called in a few times with questions about my lawn care. By far the best customer service people I've dealt with in a long time. Great people. Highly recommend.

This team is great. What appears to be a quick come and gone application, is from experience and a good eye. The moss control and fertilizer application has greatly improved the rich green colour. The aeration and overseeding has filled in those mole hills from last year's damage. Tegjot has requested a second weed control spray to get that pesky buttercup under control. Nearly 20 year of neglect is a work in progress, but already looks so much better.. Thank you.

This is the second season that Weed Man, Dartmouth has been taking care of my lawn. I would recommend this company because the staff are knowledgeable, a pleasure to deal with, and they care about what they do. It is always easy to contact them, which is such a bonus these days. They provide timely updates on upcoming and completed services. A great company for lawn care.
